NTR centenary gets a commemorative coin.
Suicide is not OK. We cannot end our lives. We cannot end our potential. Our possibilities. Impulses, stress, relationship issues, disorders, no hope situations – can we find ways to deal with them, rather than end our lives and possibilities? Million suicides a year, 10 million ends to possibilities – can we prevent them? Suicides of men are higher. Higher in elderly men, and in teens and young adult men and women. Pesticides/poisoning is the means of suicide in one-third cases. Attempted suicides are 10-20 times or more of the suicides. Self-harm is one step away from attempting suicide. Friends are the best shield we have against these – self-harm, attempting suicide or suicide. Can we create hope for all life to complete their lifetimes? Can we ensure that triggers of poverty, indebtedness, unemployment, exploitation, discrimination, inequities, etc., do not take life to go for self-harm, and suicide?
India alias Bharat has hosted the eighteenth G20 summit at New Delhi during 9-10 September. India has symbolically handed over the Presidency to Brazil. The transfer would be effective 1 December. African Union joined G20 as a permanent member. Global Biofuel Alliance has been launched. India-Middle-East-Europe Corridor has been agreed to be built. A consensus New Delhi Declaration has been adopted: One Earth, One Family, One Future (Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam). Declaration says: We live in harmony with our surrounding ecosystem. Together we have an opportunity to build a better future. Just energy transitions can improve jobs and livelihoods, and strengthen economic resilience. No country should have to choose between fighting poverty and fighting for our planet. We pursue development models that implement sustainable, inclusive and just transitions globally, while leaving no one behind. We urgently accelerate our actions to address development and climate challenges, promote Lifestyles for Sustainable Development (LiFE), and conserve biodiversity, forests and oceans. We promote sustainable, quality, healthy, safe and gainful employment. We close gender gaps and promote the full, equal, effective and meaningful participation of women in the economy as decision-makers. Today’s era must not be of war…. we steer the world out of its current challenges and build a safer, stronger, more resilient, inclusive and healthier future for our people and planet.
NCBN has been arrested on charges of Skill Development scam and taken into judicial custody for 14 days. Maybe, it is just the rule of law, and nothing else.
Are we moving forward – literacy, digital literacy, and AI literacy? Artificial intelligence? Does it offer additional lenses to understand our world? Extra vision, extra sound spectrum, faster computation, reduced drudgery with automated work, logical-analytical intelligence to biological, psychological, emotional, intelligence, deep idiosyncratic and collective memory and intelligence, beyond human, may be universal – so on. Does it augment human experience to higher layers/levels? Can we be literate to use this towards these ends?
We are insignificant in terms of our time, place, size, contribution etc., as an individual, as a collective, and as a humanity. Can we realize this? Can we extinguish all that superficiality, arrogance, negativity and toxicity within us? Change is happening continuously. Status quo is turning around. Time moves. Life changes. Surroundings change. Power yields. Authority wilts. New interpretations come. Knowledge changes. Relevance changes. Culture, Traditions, and Habits change. Behaviours change. Body changes. Age increases. Emotions change. Thoughts change. Feelings change. Purpose changes. Vision changes. Portfolios change. Insights change. Structures change. Systems change. Energy levels change. Moods change. Ends change. Means change. Methods, Processes, Tools, Skills, and Information packets change. Can we realize this?
Yes, we can. If we coexist. If we live, learn, lead, link. If we reflect. If we flow in sync. The flow of N. For 7L.
Join us in the yoga of transformation for living fully in the nature – chitryoga for 7L.
